Before you start ---- Warnings & Cautions
Warnings: Follow these guidelines to avoid personal injury:
1. Only use this instrument in the manufacture specified temperature range.
2. The transition junction and the lead wires of this instrument can become hot
when it is used to measure high temperatures for extended periods of time.
3. DO NOT submerge the transition junction when taking measurement.
4. DO NOT use this instrument to measure the temperature of any hazardous live
component.
5. Follow all other safety guidelines listed in this user’s guide.
Cautions: Follow these guidelines to avoid possible damage to the instrument:
1. Avoid mechanical shocks. DO NOT drop or slam the probe in any way. This
will cause damage to the probe internally and affect its calibration and
accuracy.
2. Read Section entitled “Care and Handling Guidelines” before removing the
thermocouple from the shipping box. Incorrect handling can damage the
thermocouple and void the warranty.
3. Keep the shipping container in case it is necessary to ship the thermocouple.
Incorrect packaging of the thermocouple for shipment can cause irreparable
damage.
4. Calibration equipment should only be used by trained personnel.

1 Introduction and Specifications
1.1 Introduction
AM1210 Type S Reference Standard Thermocoupleis constructed
using reference grade Platinum and Platinum vs. 10% Rhodium
alloys. It covers a temperature range of 0 °C to 1300 °C with short
term stability of 0.2 °C all the way to Freezing Point of Copper
(1084.62 °C). It is commonly used as reference standard to
calibrate industrial thermocouples. All thermocouple wires and
parts are specially cleaned and annealed before assembly. Every
AM1210 thermocouple is fully annealed and tested again to meet
the tolerance criteria as specified in the table below.

2 Care and Handling Guidelines
1. DO NOT subject the thermocouple to any physical shocks
and vibrations.
a. When not using the thermocouple, keep it in a place
that’s not prone to drop, slam, bang, vibration or other

strong physical contacts. Use a protective box or a
carrying case whenever possible.
b. When shipping the thermocouple, use protective box
and other protective packaging materials to minimize
mechanical shocks as much as possible.
c. When using dry blocks, make sure the well diameter is
appropriate to allow the thermocouple move up and
down smoothly.
2. DO NOT subject the thermocouple to any contaminations.
Keep the thermocouple as clean as possible.
a. DO NOT over heat. Do not use the thermocouple above
the manufacture specified temperature range.
